Celine Dion Announces New Album and ‘Courage World Tour’

On Wednesday night, April 3rd, Celine Dion took the stage during a special live event at the Theater at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles to announce her new album and her Courage World Tour.

This tour will be Dion’s first global trek in a decade, and will be kicking off in her home province with two shows at Videotron Centre in Quebec City (Sept. 18 and 20), followed by two shows in Montreal at the Bell Center (Sept. 26 and 27). Dion told the audience she planned to take a few weeks off to spend time with her family after the four shows in Quebec before heading back onto the road Oct. 16 for a concert at Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre.

“I’m not going on tour with my kids. They’re very mature and very independent,” Celine told the audience. “Eleven days is the longest time I’ve been away from them. And two weeks on tour will be the longest time I will be away from my children.”

Each ticket orders come with one CD copy of Celine’s new English album, scheduled for release this fall.
